Tag: mother!

Wow. What a movie week I’ve had. It’s been up, down and all around, mostly thanks to the mindf*ck that was mother! I reviewed the movie here, but I think it’s better you just go see it to make up your own mind, as opposed to the fighting going on...

DISCLAIMER: In the following review, I try to make sense of the film mother! This is a film that is both impossible to spoil, and yet knowing anything feels like a spoiler in and of itself. While I will be incredibly careful about what I say...

Well, everyone, awards season is officially here! We are kicking off the Fall Festivals with the 74th Venice Film Festival, and with a slew of great films and a jury consisting of Baby Driver’s Edgar Wright and President Annette Bening, this...

The Screenplay Awards are arguably the most entertaining race at the Oscars. Not only is it the most predicative of the Best Picture race (no film has won without a Best Screenplay nomination since 2007), but this is the category that most often...

Sigh, another year, another Dutiful Wife contest. While Best Supporting Actresses have given us a variety of the greatest performances in film history (Whoopi Goldberg, Mo’Nique, Marisa Tomei), a great deal of nominees over the years belong to...

While the first half of 2017 may have seemed male-oriented, especially when compared to last year’s swarm of phenomenal female performances, that’s a bit misleading. Sure, most of the best films so far have starred men, but let’s not forget that...

I don’t think anything can stop Darren Aronofsky. While I appreciated his 2014 film Noah, most critics panned it, and it flopped at the box office. However, he didn’t let that stop him the way most directors would; instead, he has doubled down...

Of course, we can’t have Best Picture without Best Director. The two go hand in hand. Or, at least, they used to, back in the classic days of the Academy. In the last seven years, there was a split between the two bosom buddies four times. That’s...

We’ve finally put last year’s Oscars in the rear-view mirror, which means now is the perfect time to kick off our early predictions for the 90th Academy Awards! Yes, yes, I’m sure you’re still detoxing from last year, and I’m sure you want to...
